Lovely. Am using for my next cat.

Loved it. It was my favourite name, with Penelope a close second. Then when DD3 was born, it was like I had a complete memory blank so just said "She's a Penelope, she's so perfect". And thought nothing of it until 3 weeks later when a work colleague said "I was so sure you would go with Tabitha!" and I realised the name had completely fallen out of my head somehow and I was gutted, I loved it so much more than Penelope.

Best name ever.

CeibaTree · 10/04/2020 21:44

Gorgeous name, love it!

I'm not keen on names with th in them. Tabiffa sounds bad.

CharlieandLolaCat · 10/04/2020 21:37

Love it. Would have been DS's name if he'd been a she!

Prettyprettyplease · 10/04/2020 21:30

I love it!

genie10 · 10/04/2020 21:28

I always thought of it as a cat's name.

BaroleCaskin · 10/04/2020 21:15

I love it!

SpratsOnParade · 10/04/2020 21:14

It's an awful name. It has such an ugly sound.

Dogsaresomucheasier · 10/04/2020 20:12

My Tabitha/Tab/Tabity-babity/Tabby has grown up with it and loves it. I’m a bit sad it’s grown in popularity since she was born, but it is lovely.

Bezalelle · 10/04/2020 11:00

The "bith" part puts me off. Too lispy and rheumy.

Astronica · 10/04/2020 08:30

Love it.

fessmess · 09/04/2020 23:48

I have 20 yo Tabitha. Love it. She loves it. It's a known, but rare, name.

glitterbiscuits · 09/04/2020 23:33

I love it.

123Dancewithme · 09/04/2020 23:31

I like it, but I suggested it to DH and he laughed.

CrowCat · 09/04/2020 21:14

Love it. And that's why it's my eldest DDs name Smile

MikeUniformMike · 09/04/2020 20:54

Not my taste, but there's nothing wrong with it. I think of it as being the same sort of name as Matilda.

thunderthighsohwoe · 09/04/2020 20:39

Our 16mo is Tabitha, and we call her Tabby for short. DP wasn’t keen, but his choices were horrendous so I won đŸ˜ƒ

babynamelover · 09/04/2020 20:33

Same with above I used it on a stray cat we were caring for recently.

ofwarren · 09/04/2020 17:13

I think it is a beautiful name!

DramaAlpaca · 09/04/2020 17:11

It will forever be a cat's name to me.

Munchkin08 · 09/04/2020 16:58

My daughter is a Tabitha, she is 23 now. I asked her recently if she liked her name and she said she loves it and gets lots of comments on what a nice name it is. No one was horrible at school, I think there are so many different names now children don't take much notice. It's a lovely name.

I like it but DH vetoed because he thinks it’s too feline.
